Just to caution you, that term isn’t going away.

If i hear one more time your refer to it as “that asinine lockout” you will have lost me as a reader. Grow up, get over it and go on.

Competent, rational points of view. Far cry from your old self.

Pay attention 2.2, you are the only fool left in town!

Maybe he will be. He was the #3 pick, by Dom.

Gotta be great.

I get your point, results are what matters – cant argue with that. You seem to know something about football, so let me ask you this:

If Wash was teaching the DL the 2 gap read and react system, why would he be wanting the DL to be in a tilted stance? To me (could be wrong), the only advantage of a tilted stance is that you have a .5 step on the OL trying to shoot the gap and penetrate. What happens when you were supposed to “react” to the other gap?

I know I am oversimplifying, but it just doesnt make sense to me.

And Sapp using tilted stance is irrelevant. Great players dont make plays because they used the right stance. Average players can play better using the right stance. Thats all I’m trying to say, Millard sees that.

Kind of ironic. Sapp advocates the guy, who changes the stance to one Sapp did not use.

I suppose its different for each player, based upon skill level.

“…and thinks it is the answer to all of our problems. ”

No post that I saw said that, at all. The guys are just being optimistic about a new coach on the team in an area that lacked last year. Every time we hear a player talk about the new coach showing them a little thing here or there and we sense the player seems fired up about it, it fires us up.

We all know it is the production on the field during a game that counts and so far the scoreboard reads 0 for everything.

Just getting psyched up for a yungry team.

I just think bringing in Millard will offer up some valuable words of wisdom that will help our 1st year/2nd year D-Linemen develop into what we are all hoping for.

Bringing in the two new DL coaches was a great move, and Brando is right on, results are king.

We win 10 games with the most rookies ever and our fans question the front office and owners’ intentions.

Welcome to Tampa…

Some of the best interior linemen ever, used tilted stances, some didn’t. There are advantages to both, but us using mostly squared up isn’t going to make us instant sack artists. It’s about putting the completed product on the field ready to disrupt the offense. That means being ready to come off the ball, exploding off the snap, recognizing where the play is going, playing with proper pad level, using the correct moves/technique to beat the blocker, and then opening up their hips to make the play, and finishing. The stance is only a tiny part of that. You guys can be happy all you want with Millard’s lip service, I’ll be happy when I see the results on the field.
